Projection: need to automatically qualify

Davidson’s profile blends encouraging road and neutral wins with a single damaging neutral loss. A road victory at Charlotte and a neutral-site win over Boston College, together with a nonconference triumph over Washington State, demonstrate the team can win away from home and beat respectable opponents. That résumé is marred by a lopsided neutral defeat to Utah State that raises questions about the team’s ceiling against top competition and erases some of the resume-building value of earlier wins. The conference slate has produced both resume builders and missed opportunities and upcoming tests at Kansas and against St Mary’s, along with key league games against Temple, VCU, and Dayton, are the clearest paths to repair the profile. The selection process rewards quality results away from home and at neutral sites and punishes further bad losses, so Davidson’s chances will turn on how it performs in those remaining marquee matchups.
